MIT displays breathtaking medical images

For the past eight years, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s Koch Institute has featured a public gallery of science images in its lobby, STAT reports.

This year’s 10 winners were chosen from nearly 150 submissions from MIT researchers. They range from a green-dyed mouse colon tumor enhanced with a microscope to a lymph node resembling an asteroid. All are truly a sight to see.
